mom and dad had a good 3 days together celebrating their 20 years. ^^ pics from yesterday.

i shall summarize. we left the house at around 1pm to have lunch at northpoint, then went on the AMK hub so that daddy could buy the gift that mommy wanted-- bracelet. daddy hasn't had much opportunity to do this kind of thing, so we were savouring the moment and, you know, i was teasing them and all. oh man, mom took like half an hour choosing what she wanted, i was afraid we'd be late for the braces appt! daddy ceremonially adorned mommy with the bracelet at... the underpass. well near the entrance of the amk underpass.

so cute right?

went to orchard and met geil there. we were actually taking the same train as her! woo~ strange. she was nice to tag along and listen to my stupid chattering. the orthodontist is a serious man.. he looked at my teeth for longer than i expected and his diagnosis was so frank it kinda hurt.
ortho- blah blah blah whole upper jaw pushed to the left so it makes your upper lip protrude alot. blah blah remove two teeth blah blah file the bottom teeth blah blah one and a half years because your's is more serious.
the protruding lip.. totally my complex. ouch. well anyway we're gonna fix it! yes thank God, i'm only gonna extract two and not four like the timmay had to. (asa~) took an xray and did the putty thing.. the mold making thing. next step, yank out teeth.

i'm gonna cry. please knock me out or something.

but i think i'll do that after VBS cause the teeth that need to be extracted.. one of them will be pretty visible. don't wanna teach the kids with a black gap in my mouth. you know the kindies.. they notice everything. the otherday during chapel i was singing the countdown song with them and when i said TEN they all pointed to my hand and began laughing. why? because apparently i have a crooked finger. LOL.
anyways geil and i went back north while mom and dad went to pick up something from someone. (?) i went home only to realize i forgot to bring my key. sighs.. that situation. i went to SSC to wait for the parents since we would be having dinner there later. i had 10 bucks.. bought a pancake, bubble tea, and.. a gift for mom and dad. from DAISO!! couple mugs, haha. blocked the counter (there was nobody lah) and kept asking for more newspaper and tape. good thing the cashier was nice and just kept laughing at me.. bending there trying to wrap this unbelievably cheap gift. i knew my parents would appreciate it so, whatever! got a card for 2 bucks too. cute huh, got ribbon one leh the wrapping.
had dinner at new york new york and went home happily.

this is the longest summary ever.

HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY, MOM & DAD! may you have many mannnnnny more years of growth together.

braces consult today at 330! the geilly is coming, yay! i shall pass her the oversized shades.

wah, had major argument with mommy last night until dunno what time. now i'm goldfish from crying. i googled "why do eyes swell after crying" just now and found out it's because of the sodium in the tears. well one website said that and another said it was more because the eye muscles are strained. or something like that.

but it's all okay now. =)

the three of us set out for SSC first thing in the morning today. we wanted to go to the thrift shop near church to see the furniture.. if there was anything i could use for my room. we bought a shelf and a mirror. now all i need is a desk and a chest of drawers.

picked up these 50cent wayfarers i spotted that are super cute.
(daddy)- no lah, nobody would buy this. it's toy specs lah!
A- no lah, this is quite in now you know? you dunno right? they're called wayfarers!
D- *stares at me*

haha. also found this HUGE hat that is really branded and cost 40 bucks originally but was going for $7, BUT i didn't get it cause, well i won't use it often and i don't need it. so, i got two shades (one for geil!) and some fabric paints that also cost 50cents per tube. man, i love thrift shops! there can be some real deals there. all you gotta do is SEARCH and immune yourself to the dust.

after being thrifty we popped by at daiso to get boxes and stuff. mommy got gardening stuff for her gardening therapy, as i call it. i bought 4 big boxes and a set of pig brushes (funny right, the name.. it's just made of pig hair lah. hair? fur? bristles??) to paint the flowers and wood patternnnnnnn ican'twait ! and last but not least, i got a plastic organizer thing for my oil paints.
happy- the room's coming along. (:

spent the rest of the day sorting and cleaning and scrubbing my window of all the bird and whatever other creatures' poos (eckk.) and now i just want to lie down and zee. daddy moved the disassembled loft bed into my room. it's leaning against my room wall.. so uglily, pieces of metal.. blocking my finally open wall. think he's gonna sell it on ebay. anyone wanna loft bed?

tim had his IPPT t'day...

PRAISE AND THANK GOD HE DID ALRIGHT.. he didn't fail! in fact, he came close to silver, although he didn't get silver. the seriously miraculous thing he was telling me about on the phone just now was that he got gold for his standing broad jump, which has always been his weakest point! he improved by something like 20cm (!!!!) con-gra-tu-LATIONS~~

part of conv:
A- how did you do it? what were you thinking about before you jumped??
T- i dunno. nothing! i also dunno.
A- maybe it was because i prayed for you so much the whole day... *fake proud laugh*
T- yeah i guess so. haha. wah, when i looked at the result ah, me and matthias were jumping and shouting away like mad..
A- did you cryyyy?
T- almost lah.
A- *merciless laugh* YOU EMOOOOOH!

so cute right? LOL. really thank God. the last time when he failed his IPPT diagnostic whatever thing, he was like so so sad! so i was really hoping he'd pass. well i actually prayed that he'd get silver, but God knows best lah. ^^ he hasn't gotten his running results yet.
happy feelings.

TODAY, daddy and i have ceremonially dismantled the good old bunk bed. sudden right? we decided to take it down last night, and i spent the whole day today doing that and re-organizing and packing my stuff. i have SO MUCH art stuff.. i really almost went crazy. from 11 in the morning to 5 in the evening-- sorting sorting sorting. the DUST is.. wah, fantastic. i think i threw away half the contents of my room and gave away one quarter of it. (YESSS!!! more space.)

now my matress is on top of my gran's waterbed, just temporarily until my dad can drain the waterbed and replace it properly with my matress. my gran's drawer is still here in case she can actually come to stay for the weekend, which we've been pressing for, in which case i'd sleep on an air matress we have and she'd take my bed. stage one in complete, since the bunk bed is down and waiting to be sold. stage two would be to PAINT MY ROOMMM! will probably get that done during the week. i also gotta buy a desk, a shelf, and a chest of drawers. anybody wanna help me paint??? i'm getting rid of the big pink wall, replacing it with a shade of some creamy color we have leftover from when we moved here (daddy karanguni man) and.. i'm gonna paint flowers using acrylic. oh and i'm gonna paint the metal parts around my window to make them look like wood. hope it turns out well. =)

woah i'm so tired.

today was pretty eventful. well, just different from usual saturdays since matt came for teens. tim and i met up with him for breakfast at northpoint's subway (whee~) and then set off for church.

we played blockers for icebreakers (!). the lesson was about the inferiority complex that teens often face. i guess the main point that made an impression on my mind was that God has a purpose for each of us and He made us the way we are. of course we all know that right? but often times we don't let that govern our perspectives towards things that we face in life. yeah, so that's what i brought home.

choir practice was alright. i was really sleepy during the later part. came back home to find tim and matt at our place. tim and matt are realllllly alike (down to the scars on their knees!) but i guess the main and big difference is that matt is big on jazz and tim isn't. got to know him a little bit more and see some photos of his friends and family, then had dinner with him downstairs. i went home while tim walked with him to the MRT station. he's actually quite singaporean you know? he can read more chinese than me and stuff.. surprising. (no offence) i was the little sister who kept sticking around, probably hindering their guy talk. ha.

bottomline, he's a nice fellow. i don't know him that well, but thank God that tim has him as a buddy.. a good buddy, who can sorta stand up with him and help him not feel so alone. :)

oh did i mention matt fell into a drain in broad daylight? really like timmy right?! LOL.

you know how every family has photos of babies wrapped in cloth, cute and innocent?

boom bam baby! not innocent, but still cute.

timmy called to say he'll be back late tomorrow and that his friend matthias.. mathias? double T right? is coming (most likely but not confirmed) for teens and church.

omo i so shy ottokay!

art blog updated with some cards.

HAPPY BIRFDAY JACOB LOW.

lol my friend likes to take pics while crossing the road, and i just saw a pic of her leaning against an SBS bus and posing while it stopped for a red. (!!!!) guts man, melod.

daddy's out to work now, and i'm gonna make sandwiches for lunch. i kinda forgot how yummy sandwiches actually are.

anyway, i changed my blogskin. for fun. :) my blog--is like my hair. wahh philosophical. it's not exactly what i want though.

went snack shopping (by myself. so sad.) on monday and picked up snickers and mars bars for the timmay. sssh don't tell him. :D

next week i'll be going to the ortho's for my BRACES consult! WAH finallllly, i'm seriously super super excited. and afraid. of the extraction part. GEIL COME WITH MAYYY! and next week is mom and dad's 20th anniversaire. i want them to go to east coast and cycle together like they used to when they were dating! maybe i'll paint a piece on that for them. maybe?
speaking of paintings, i really wanna paint a big one and bug the nurses or whatever at the old folks' home to hang it up in mama's room. got the idea the other day when i was there bcos all the paintings were dull and like, from hotels that closed down or something. i will paint briiight flowers. but not too bright. gotta be careful with these old, superstitous people. :|
i miss mama. :(

last night i missed fighting spiders bcos aunty wendy's mom's passed and i went with mom for the wake. i really did feel sad for aunty wendy. i wonder how she feels, i mean, i wish i were closer to her? so that i could be of more comfort.

BYE TIMMMMM. happy practicing to shoot people and stuff. don't swear or become ahbeng. or sprout out overly-generous eyebrows like BR.
lol.
FOR JAKEY! if he complains about it, i really dunno what to say man.

friday night. haha BJ's illustration.. thought i'd keep a momento.

tim-prata-nite. he was so so smelly.

flowers for mama at the home. thank God she's smiley and chatty.

heehee SO CUTE LAH!

breakfast and chong panggggg. on.. wednesday? yeah the really bad day.

so ummmm, what else did i do. ah went to CP again with geil and mom to walk around and see auntie stuff. taught the kids in chapel today-- four new kiddies. SUPER tired out by all of them, i dunno how teachers do their jobs day in and out! (respect!)

random conv on sat:
tim and ag walking to mrt.
T: the he-she has that tshirt you know.
A: what, this one?
T: yah. "let's move to a houseboat."
A: hah~? then i shouldn't wear this in front of your army guys...
T: nods head.
continue walking.

BTW i'm making cards again ppl, but not so much on request. will post uo those i made on le art blog so you can choose from there if you want. i've gotten tim to advertise for me on the island of separated boyfriends already muahaha!

hoho, quick update.

on sunday, mom's sunday, the message wad on the virtuous woman of proverbs 31. alot for the ledez (me included) to chew on.
went home and out to SSC again after tim left to enjoy aircon.

monday was normal, tuesday was nice. mom took MC and went to the docs, so she stayed home and relaxed the whole day. well kind of.

weds was a horrible day. really one of the worse days ever. but i can't say why here leh. family issues is more than enough info lah. weds took like weeks off my life. but thank God it ended okay. it's the ending that really matters right?

today mom took half day bcos she couldn't sleep last night. i saw her on the living room hall at 2+ when i ran out of my room bcos i thought a beetle had flown in. (imagine me groggily tumbling down the ladder of my loft bed. haha.) after school went to daiso with mom to get some stuff for the noticeboard but i didn't buy anything for it in the end. just a new makeup pouch to replace the grosse old one and JAKE'S PRESENT!!!! making it nicer now. heehee. post up pics of it later.

TADADADA~! what a TIRING evening.

yah, tirrred.

the carnation lanterns!

talk talk talk.

aunty janet bought me bubble tea. komawo!

ahaha daddy and i practicing the song on friday.

found bran like this at 1am. so cute right? then i looked closer...

WHAA?? yea, he hath smudged mine banner. but just a little bit so i let him off. how to get mad at him while looking at that face? who is he trying to be? the hulk? SHREK? LOL.

gonna cook ramen for lunch now. ramen saves so much money lah!

oh geil i saw white shades at cotton on yesteray, not exactly when we're aiming for but it's still pretty nice and it's $6??? (!) dunno still have anot.. just saying. ^^

today's lesson at prayer mtg was "remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth."
super applicable. (not sarcasm.)

came back to stinky tim and sleeping 008. my dad's new pet name for my mom is 008, or double-0 eight. don't think too much, the reason is because he thinks of himself as 007, james bondie. sometimes he'd address my mom as 008 on the phone when she's at work and uptight and all, and i keep telling him not to cause lameness frustrates the stressed and usually backfires. if mom's 008 then tim's 009 and i'm what, 010?? it's no fun of you can't say the "double-0" anymore, tsk. anyway, just a funny development in the home. :)

packed up the decorations for the banquet tomorrow. it's weird how i've never said the word banquet so much in my life before. (when can you use a word like that? even "feast" is more usable.. when ordering KFC.) banquet banquet. i hope the food will be alright. and the singing, oh mannnnnnn. mommy will think it's nice. naww she won't she'll make fun of us when we get home wahahaha.

miss ya geil see you tomorrow?
fighting!

oh did i mention i almost painted BANQET on the banner? lol i paused at Q because the pencil outline looked weird and asked my dad (!!!!!!!!!!) how to spell banquet. i think the perm shrunk my brain...

ooou the weather is nasty. the banner and other decorations are finished! think it'll look nice. hope so? heehee. today was boring, and i'm really frustrated cause my skin is in acne state again and i'm freaking out. so many zits, arh! been dayss and it's not getting better. *cry*

tim called back. we know it's tim when dad answers the phone like, "Hiiiiii~~~". LOL, it's cute, with his huge grin. he's fine. ^-^

daddy and i have to practice our special item for the mothers day thing. we're gonna SING. (da da da daaaaa) hahahaha, whatever! why not right? as long as we have fun. :) be spontaneous and daring! *psychs myself*

speaking of psyching, why did ch5 stop showing Psych? tsk.

i shall go think positive thoughts so that my face will heal quicker.

no such thing as eating in peace in this house.

aha the handbag-sandwichmaker! oh man, my morning face...

i'm better better now! and tim has gone back to camp. boring day today. working on the decor for the first ABM MOM'S DAY BANQUET (!!!). making a banner with geil. :)

i suddenly wanna go rockclimbing again.
welcome back tito richie!

went to doc's today, the same one i went for my skin last time cause i die die dowan to go polyclinic and wait like mad. mommy banned me from going to teens. she kept getting up last night whenever i had a coughing fit. she's afraid it's bronchitis or something worse than just a cough, since it's been going on for a week now. ): got a stronger dose on antibiotics (cool, neon yellow one) and some other meds. eeee~ haha i was coughing like crazy in the clinic and nurse mommy made me wear a mask. wah, i look scary in a mask lah, what with this pig flu going on. if i saw myself in a mask i would stay away. but it's disgusting to cough into a mask.. all the saliva and whatever vapor gets stuck there, ugh.

had breakfast with tim and dad and watched tim go for teens. i really wanted to goooo. walked around northpoint awhile with mom.. bought buy 1 get 1 free Tshirts from OP (heee). saw these seriously cute sesame street tees at bossini (supposed to be kids one but i can wear) and it was on offer, and i realllllly wanted one! even tried it on! ah! but i control control.. gave it a pass. *heartpain*

i'm crazy on Tshirts now. TEE -SHIRT! must not be covetous. :)

i go bathe. bye! happy one month, magdelena! (spelling?)

timmy's back. ^-^ safe and sound and rattttling his mouth off about field camp, which daddy keeps calling "field trip". (lol)

i am drugged out on cough syrup. haven't been sleeping well because of the cough. :( hope to go for friday night later. everybody stay away from me i'm a germ bag! aye, change.. bacteria bag? (germaine solly!)

boo no rain today.
